Troubleshooting
Most issues with die-cast models are related to physical damage from mishandling. Here are some common concerns:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wheels do not roll smoothly | Dust or debris in axle, minor bend in axle, or manufacturing imperfection. | Gently clean around the wheels with a soft brush. If the issue persists and is not due to external debris, it may be a manufacturing defect. |
| Paint chipping or scratches | Impact, abrasion, or rough handling. | This is typically cosmetic damage and cannot be repaired without specialized tools. Handle with more care in the future. |
